Condolences to Dicks Family. I have known Dick since 1965 when he joined the Taranaki Dairy Company Eltham Branch as a Tanker Driver. A few years later I became the Tanker scheduler for the Company and Dick became one of the Senior Drivers. He was a very good driver and a great worker and could always be relied on to help out doing extra loads our even helping out in the Transport Office when the need arises. Dick was also a great mate of mine back in those earlier years when we were working together. We lost contact with each other when I went farming, but since I retired recently I managed to catch up with him again and we talked about our many memories of our days gone by. Dick was a highly respected team mate and a great friend. So sad to see him pass away as we had many stories still to tell.
So Dick you RIP. Condolences to your Family. Rodney.
